…In sum, instead of continuing the current course of
contemplating reallocating the entire 1755-1850 MHz
band at some point in the distant future we strongly urge
that NTIA focus the effort on reallocation of the 1755-
1780 MHz sub-band as soon as possible. Sharing or
relocation studies for the 1780-1850 MHz band should
continue in accordance with federal requirements and
should take into account the long-term evolution of
available technology. However, near-term action to
auction the 1755-1780 MHz band paired with 2155-2180
MHz would help relieve the growing pressure for
spectrum. At the same time, federal agencies would
continue to have access to 1780-1850 MHz for ten years,
based on current technology and potential pairing
options.
